Blaine left the hospital and drove home to grab the last two carseats. He was very excited that all of the babies would soon be home. While driving, he thought of what he needed to get before everyone came into their home.
He in the driveway and climbed out of the car. When Blaine walked into the house, he was met with loud cries coming from the nursery. He smiled and followed to where the cries were coming from.
Blaine couldn't help but laugh at the scene in front of him as he quietly walked into the nursery. Not only were Cory and Elizabeth crying, but so was their uncle Cooper.
"Hey, when did you get home?" Jack asked.
"Hey dad." replied Blaine. "I just got back. I came to grab the last two carseats."
"Does that mean you're bringing all of them home? Even Mackenzie? She's ok?" Kate asked quickly, overly excited.
Blaine nodded. "Yes and no."
"What do you mean?" asked Cooper.
"Well, Henry just got the all clear to come home with Emma and Devon." Blaine started.
"What about Mackenzie? Is she ok?" repeated Kate, as she finished changing Elizabeth.
"Well, she was able to come off of the ventilator this morning and they put her on a lactose free formula because she's lactose intolerant." Blaine explained.
"That's great Blaine." Jack complimented.
Blaine nodded. "Yeah. The doctor said since she's eating better and if she continues to breathe on her own, she'll probably be able to go home by the weekend." he finished.
Everyone was speechless.
"But the doctor did say that she'll need to come home with an apnea monitor, just to be safe." Blaine added.
Kate and Jack nodded.
"That's wonderful news sweetheart." Kate complimented, giving her son a kiss on the cheek and handed him Elizabeth.
"How were Cory and Elizabeth last night without us?" Blaine asked.
"They were fine." Kate said simply.
"Yeah, they just woke up every two to three hours to either eat or be changed." Cooper added, handing Cory over to Blaine.
"Well, that's what they do Cooper." Blaine laughed. "And it's only going to get a lot louder."
Cooper shook his head. "Oh no, I don't think I can handle any more crying babies!"
Jack slapped Cooper on the back playfully. "Stop that. Your brother needs our help and we're going to help him. He'd do the same for you."
Cooper nodded his head, ashamed.
"It's ok Cooper. You can go back to California if you want. I'm going to email everyone and tell them that we're bringing the babies home, so we'll be needing some help." Blaine admitted.
"But Blaine honey, I know you're friends are going to be more than willing to help out, but what's going to happen when everyone leaves? What are you and Kurt going to do three, four months from now when it's just the two of you with six babies?" Kate asked.
"Wow mom. I didn't even think about that." Blaine admitted.
"Hey, you could always get a nanny. Well, maybe a few." suggested Cooper, earning him another slap on the shoulder from his father.
"Hey!" he squealed.
Blaine looked at Cooper. "Actually, that is a good idea. But I'll have to talk to Kurt about it first."
"See, every once in a while I have a good idea." stated Cooper, making everyone laugh.
"Mom, can you put Cory and Elizabeth in their bouncy seats please? I'm going to write an email to everyone, updating them on the babies progress." Blaine asked.
"Sure sweetheart." Kate replied, taking Cory, while Jack took Elizabeth. "I'll bring them downstairs, so you can sit on the couch while you're on the laptop."
Blaine smiled his thanks and walked out of the nursery. He went into his bedroom, grabbed the laptop and went downstairs. Before getting started, Blaine made sure he grabbed the two carseats and placed them by the front door so not to forget them.
He went into the kitchen and grabbed three bottles of hand sanitizer from under the sink.
"Why do you have so much of that stuff?" asked Cooper, coming into the kitchen.
"It's to keep the babies from getting sick." Blaine replied. "And according to Kurt, we need more."
"Why?" Cooper wondered.
"Because we don't want them going back in the hospital. He also wants everyone to they have their flu shot and that they're not sick, before they come to see the babies." Blaine explained.
"Well, you didn't tell us about that." Cooper teased.
Blaine rolled his eyes. "First off, I hope you wouldn't come all the way out here if you were sick to see your nieces and nephews. And second, I didn't know you were coming." Blaine teased back.
Cooper held his hands up in surrender. "Ok, ok." he laughed.
"Can you do me a favor and go to the store to get some more hand sanitizer, hand soap and wipes that are chemical free?" Blaine requested.
Cooper nodded. "Sure. How much do you think you'll need?"
Blaine thought for a moment. "I don't know. You might need to go to Sam's Club."
Cooper laughed.
"Oh, since we're bringing home all of the babies, you might need to go there anyway to buy several boxes of diapers and baby wipes." Blaine remembered.
Cooper shook his head. "You won't need to buy diapers, wipes, formula, clothes or anything like that for a while."
Blaine looked at his brother confused. "Why not?"
"Follow me." said Cooper, as he led Blaine to the garage door and opened it. "Be prepared to be amazed." he said, turning on the light where Blaine was met with boxes of baby supplies.
"Where did all of this come from?" Blaine asked, in surprise. He walked over to the boxes of clothes and began looking through it.
"People have been dropping off stuff since Kurt left yesterday. Someone said they heard about the birth of the babies and everyone started donating things." Cooper explained.
Blaine shook his in disbelief.
"Oh, some women also donated a $50.00 Babies 'R Us gift card." Cooper added, taking the card out of his back pocket and handing it to Blaine.
"Do you know who was? I think we should send all of these people thank you cards." Blaine suggested.
Cooper shook his head. "No one left their name. They just dropped things off and left."
Blaine looked at the gift card and all of the things in the garage. "I can't believe people did all of this for us." he said softly.
After a few minutes of Blaine standing in the middle of the garage, he walked back in the house. Kate and Jack saw their two sons come in from the garage.
"I'm guessing Cooper showed you the garage?" Kate guessed.
Blaine nodded. "Yeah he did. I'm in shock that people did something like this" he exclaimed. "and Kurt will be too when he sees."
Blaine sat down on the couch and looked at Cory and Elizabeth in their bouncy seats, falling asleep. He couldn't help but smile. Grabbing his laptop, he began to type out an email to Kurt's parents and their friends.
Hey Everyone,
Blaine here and I would like to announce that Cory and Elizabeth are now home. And as soon as I get back to the hospital, Emma, Devon and Henry will be joining them. Mackenzie will hopefully be coming home some time this weekend. Since she was last to be born and with some medical complications, she needs the extra time at the hospital before being released.
My parents and Cooper are here helping with Cory and Elizabeth, while Kurt and I are at the hospital with the other four. But I know we will need more help once all six are home and everyone will want to see them. Which is why I am sending this email to the whole group.
We would love for all of you to come visit and help us, but before you make plans, please make sure you are not currently sick and have gotten your flu shot. When you enter the house, please remove your shoes, wash your hands and use hand sanitizer that will be placed through out the house. The reason we ask this is since the babies were premature, they are still vulnerable to illnesses.
I hope this doesn't scare anyone away.
Hope to hear from all of you soon. Thanks so much.
Blaine and Kurt Hummel-Anderson
